This also includes fixes for a typo and some whitespace inconsistencies in
mailconfig.py. In fact the capitalisation change and those fixes are the
remnants of a patch I had been running that changed the default aliases - it
was through developing it that I found the issues.
(I wanted to bring the number of patches I apply before deploying to zero and
in the case of this one I've come to view the way MIAB already is as superior,
so I've undone the core of my patch and these tiny issues are all that remain).
* install the munin-node package
* don't install munin-plugins-extra (if the user wants it they can add it)
* expose the munin www directory via the management daemon so that it can handle authorization, rather than manintaining a separate password file
The OVH VPS provider creates systems without /dev/stdout. I have never seen that before. But fine. We were passing it as a command line option to `openssl req`, but outputting to stdout is the default so it's not necessary to specify /dev/stdout.
Fixes#277. Also https://discourse.mailinabox.email/t/500-internal-server-error/475/10.
* use the AES256 cipher, be explicit that only the first line of secret_key.txt is used, and sanity check that the passphrase is long enough
* change overship of the encrypted files to the user-data user
* simplify variable names in management/backup.py
* although I appreciate long comments I am trimming the commentary about the backup migration
* revise the control panel template to not refer to the old unencrypted files
* add CHANGELOG entry
[Josh merged some subsequent commits:]
* Guard via idempotency against termination between migration operations
* Final corrections and tweaks
* Pass passphrase through to all duplicity calls
Empirical evidence (a failed cron job) shows that cleanup requires the
passphrase (so it presumably needs to decrypt metadata), and though
remove-older-than has been working fine without it, it won't do any harm
to set it in case that changes or there are any special cases.
* Add back the archive-dir override but locate it at STORAGE_ROOT/backup/cache
I changed my mind. In 1bf8f1991f I allowed Unicode domain names to go into the database. I thought that was nice because it's what the user *means*. But it's not how the web works. Web and DNS were working, but mail wasn't. Postfix (as shipped with Ubuntu 14.04 without support for SMTPUTF8) exists in an ASCII-only world. When it goes to the users/aliases table, it queries in ASCII (IDNA) only and had no hope of delivering mail if the domain was in full Unicode in the database. I was thinking ahead to SMTPUTF8, where we *could* put Unicode in the database (though that would prevent IDNA-encoded addressing from being deliverable) not realizing it isn't well supported yet anyway.
It's IDNA that goes on the wire in most places anyway (SMTP without SMTPUTF8 (and therefore how Postfix queries our users/aliases tables), DNS zone files, nginx config, CSR 'CN' field, X509 Common Name and Subject Alternative Names fields), so we should really be talking in terms of IDNA (i.e. ASCII).
This partially reverts commit 1bf8f1991f, where I added a lot of Unicode=>IDNA conversions when writing configuration files. Instead I'm doing Unicode=>IDNA before email addresses get into the users/aliases table. Now we assume the database uses IDNA-encoded ASCII domain names. When adding/removing aliases, addresses are converted to ASCII (w/ IDNA). User accounts must be ASCII-only anyway because of Dovecot's auth limitations, so we don't do any IDNA conversion (don't want to change the user's login info behind their back!). The aliases control panel page converts domains back to Unicode for display to be nice. The status checks converts the domains to Unicode just for the output headings.
A migration is added to convert existing aliases with Unicode domains into IDNA. Any custom DNS or web settings with Unicode may need to be changed.
Future support for SMTPUTF8 will probably need to add columns in the users/aliases table so that it lists both IDNA and Unicode forms.
* For non-ASCII domain names, we will keep the Unicode encoding in our users/aliases table. This is nice for the user and also simplifies things like sorting domain names (using Unicode lexicographic order is good, using ASCII lexicogrpahic order on IDNA is confusing).
* Write nsd config, nsd zone files, nginx config, and SSL CSRs with domains in IDNA-encoded ASCII.
* When checking SSL certificates, treat the CN and SANs as IDNA.
* Since Chrome has an interesting feature of converting Unicode to IDNA in <input type="email"> form fields, we'll also forcibly convert IDNA to Unicode in the domain part of email addresses before saving email addresses in the users/aliases tables so that the table is normalized to Unicode.
* Don't allow non-ASCII characters in user account email addresses. Dovecot gets confused when querying the Sqlite database (which we observed even for non-word ASCII characters too, so it may not be related to the character encoding).
If bind9 isn't running, dont proceed with other checks because we can't do DNS checks. Even though we skip, add error handling so that a failed call to rndc doesn't crash and that a timeout in a DNS check doesn't crash the status checks.
Relative hostnames have a fall-back lookup with the machine's hostname appended, which makes no sense. Add a period, e.g. "my.hostname.com" => "my.hostname.com.", to prevent that.
This caused false positive Spamhaus checks. Fixes#185.
This seemed to already be technically supported but the validation is now stricter and the admin is more helpful:
* Postfix seems to allow @domain.tld as an alias destination address but only if it is the only destination address (see the virtual man page).
* Allow @domain.tld if it is the whole destination address string.
* Otherwise, do not allow email addresses without local parts in the destination.
* In the admin, add a third tab for making it clear how to add a domain alias.
closes#265
